Mueller said there are 8,500 students on the GCU campus. With new construction, thousands more will be on campus next fall.

Mueller expects 100 percent of nursing students will find work in the coming months. He said business grads like Rao also do very well.

"We're anticipating around 90 percent of our business grads being placed within six months of graduation so we're very excited about that," he said.

Jackie Smith is Director of Career Services at GCU. She credits a better economy and a successful job fair that has employers going after the class of 2014.

"They want to hire our grads," she said. "They're calling our office every single week saying, 'When are they graduating? When can we talk to them? Can we get in and interview them?' So I haven't seen that in the last several years so we're seeing definitely an increase."
